Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-85593 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: thorsten phpMyFAQ. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85593/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85593/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-85593","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-85593/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-85593","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2xm9-x25x-7x5q","GHSA-x6qj-5jhf-xgpm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FAQ web application","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can inject JavaScript into FAQs via html_entity_decode, leading to XSS execution in other users' browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"phpMyFAQ versions before 4.1.8 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in FaqHelper::convertOldInternalLinks() that calls html_entity_decode() on sanitized FAQ content, reversing entity-encoding protection.
